I CARE ABOUT DETROIT

Dear Friends, Neighbors, and Advocates

Please call your Congresswoman, Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, and ask her why she is giving the Ambassador Bridge Company our hard-earned money, our tax dollars. Cheeks Kilpatrick has asked for $3,000,000 to be paid to the Detroit Port Authority for the reconstruction of Clark and Fort Streets to accommodate truck traffic. The Port of Detroit is run by the Ambassador Bridge Company, and the relocation of Fort Street is not for the benefit of our community. These projects only serve to make billions of dollars of income for the Ambassador Bridge Company.

Meanwhile, our children are developing asthma and we are all being choked out of our community by increased truck traffic and emissions. Southwest Detroit deserves respect form those who do business here.

Please call
Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick and let her know how you feel about YOUR tax dollars being used to fund these projects.

let others know, too

LISTEN TO SMOKEY'S CLASSIC "I CARE ABOUT DETROIT" HERE:

ARTZ & FARTZ

TRAVIS WRIGHT over at the METRO TIMES was kind enough to do a page on UFO FACTORY and the "ARTS" via interview w/ me , DION D. FISCHER . he did a nice job deciphering my incomplete thoughts and sentences filtered thru the blasting loud BLACK SABBATH jamzz that were blaring over the ufo p.a. . see results here : UFO FACTORY, SKETCHES IN GRIT

some thingz had to be cut including talk of many upcoming ufo live MUSIK EVENTS , possible ufo ART SHOWS (deborah kashidan , 4x8x5 , fight ! , feelin' green, and more) . and discussion of other more over looked art forms like community activism ,raw food preparation, and the fact that ufo factory has a new divison called U.F.F.F.O. (aliccia and chad are heading up a group that does catch and release spay/neutering w/ feral cats in the city ). oh and plus what about groupies ? detroit rockers and artists , respect and support the groupie's , they rule and support the community, truly helping making advances in the arts . it's an oft overlooked artform , NEW DETROIT has some good ones, I AM SERIOUS .

while it's true that i'm am all about flowers, light , and positive energy these days , i did also mention some of the "dark arts". our city has a rich cultural history in negativity thats alive 'n kickin . some folks simply delight in gossip and slandering others , art really is about doing something that makes yoo feel good about yrself right ?? whatever it takes , yoo know ? let's not forget those so bereft of their own art that they live in an alternate reality where taking up lawsuits against nice folks who have talent to spare is a valid means of expression . can't come up w/ yr own ideas ? no problem, sue your pals and claim ownership of their art. or the lowest common denominator of artistry, retalitory vandalism , break a window for art if yoo have to , right ? got nuthin' offer , that's ok try to send a shard of glass into yr friends unsuspecting skull. ufo factory has always been a supporter of nature's deepest shade of red , good ol' fashioned AMERICAN BLOOD be it real or fake it's always glorious. YOO ALL KNOW WHO YOO ARE AND IF YR READING THIS ,STOP IT! put some of that energy into doing something useful, really yoo'll thank yrself eventually.
sorry, this is a blog after all ...... it's what people do nowadays right ? LETS NOT OVERLOOK THE ART OF BLOGGING !

FREE ELECTRICITY FOR THE PEOPLE !!!

repost from the GO's bobby harlow--->
Well, we've got nothing to do with this. Also, we don't approve of giving away somebody else's property without permission...
and it certainly doesn't belong to us.

That said, if you'd like a copy of the "lost" album 'Free Electricity'...

here it is:

Love,
The "this bulletin doesn't exist" GO


p.s. UFO FACTORY'S own DION D. FISCHER played lead guitar on the " "mythical" and "mystical" FREE ELECTRICITY lp , and still thinks it sounds great . yoo should totally check it out and then call up SUB POP HQ and sweet talk them into releasing it proper. hurry!
